Register
If you do not have account, you will need to register. Please note that registration is a two-step process. First, you will need to register with IRMA using the Partner Security Token Service (PartnerSTS). Second, you will need to return to RPRS and provide addition information. Once you have completed step two, you are ready to begin the application process for a research permit or submit an Investigator Annual Report (IAR).
